Farewell to June 2014

Amazing Grace

Lost

I focus on the events of a month that changed the life of my family forever. I pray that we have not lost too many opportunists to share our faith and love the Savior who gave us life and gives us a tomorrow with a hope and a future.

The graduation of a child.The wedding of another.The taking or responsibility to sell a car by another to continue school with less debt and a goal of ministry.Big life decisions that were one time events that change life forever.

They work hard, they play hard and they love hard.

I pray the moments shared will not be lost in my memory as this month of many events comes to a close.

The son goes off to fight fires in Northern California, the fires that have not begun, but history tells us, they will be many in our drought.

The daughter going back to work and school on the Coast where she contiues a life of service to many nations and a stand for Christ in a lost and dying world. A community that his ripe for spiritual things, but reluctant to the Holy Spirit.

My prayers go with them all as my children continue their journey in Christ, the Photographer, the Graduate, the Bride, the Bus Driver. Go with God my children and may you bring the love of Christ to the lost.

Lamentations 3:22-26

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;His mercies never come to an end;they are new every morning;great is Your faithfulness.“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“therefore I will hope in Him.”

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,to the soul who seeks Him.It is good that one should wait quietlyfor the salvation of the Lord.

About Me

I live in far northern California where it can be 110 degrees for weeks in the summer and below freezing for weeks in the winter. Average rainfall 26 inches.
My favorite things are quietly observing what God has created. I do every kind of needle craft, water color paint, watch birds and read in my spare times.
I work 9 to 10 hours a day at my local elementary school in reading literacy and YMCA after school.
